Dozens Reported Dead, 170 Injured in Multiple Explosions in Brussels

Dozens of people have been reported dead and some 170 more reportedly injured after explosions tore through an airport terminal and a metro station in Brussels, Belgium on Tuesday morning.

At least 30 people are believed to have been killed in two blasts. On an ISIS-affiliated website, the terrorist organization reportedly took responsibility for the attack late Tuesday morning.

At least one explosion was reported near the American Airlines desk at the main airport terminal in Brussels shortly after 8 a.m. local time (3 a.m. ET). Belgian media reported that witnesses heard gunshots and shouting in Arabic before the blasts.

"The Metro was leaving Maelbeek station for Schuman when there was a really loud explosion," Alexandre Brans, 32, told the Associated Press as he wiped blood off his face. "It was panic everywhere. There were a lot of people in the Metro."
